da luck： Tottenham continued their unbeaten start to the 16/17 Premier League season with a 2-0 victory over Manchester City, subsequently ending Pep Guardiola’s side’s 100% record.
da fazobetai： Spurs were hugely impressive throughout the 90 minutes at White Hart Lane and have now closed the gap between themselves and table topping City to just a single point.
A Kolorov own goal and neat Dele Alli finish in the first half ensured all three points stayed in north London, while it could’ve been worse for City had Erik Lamella not seen his second half penalty saved by Claudio Bravo.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side could now be seen as title contenders after that performance, particularly after making easy work of a City side heavily backed to lift the trophy in May.
Spurs fans won’t forget this victory in a hurry and here are six of the best photos that perfectly sum it up…
Togetherness…
Tottenham came out of the blocks quickly and got in the faces of Man City, who were clearly struggling without Kevin De Bruyne in midfield.
And in the ninth minute, Spurs’ efforts were rewarded when Kolorov made a mess of a routine clearance and directed the ball in to his own net.
And as we’ve seen on many an occasion under Pochettino, the togetherness within the Spurs squad was evident during the celebrations.
Dele on target…
Dele Alli then made it 2-0 for Spurs in the 37th minute when he guided home a Son through ball, sending the White Hart Lane faithful in to raptures.
Sheer delight!
Just look at those faces!
Disappointment
Bravo may have saved Lamella’s second-half penalty but he was unable to prevent Spurs from netting twice, and his disappointment was clear for all to see.
Rock at the back…
Toby Alderweireld was a rock at the back for Spurs on Sunday afternoon and you can see how much that victory and clean sheet meant to him at the final whistle.
Only one unbeaten man left…
This game was being billed as the clash of the Invicibles, with both sides having gone unbeaten in the league beforehand.
And at the end of the game there was just one unbeaten manager left in the Premier League, with Pochettino clearly the happier of the two managers.
